Qu'on parle de tourisme humanitaire, tourisme solidaire ou tourisme social, ceux qui y prennent part ont tous un point en commun : ils désirent voyager pour aider des gens et des communautés beaucoup moins bien nanties [...] Bien que souvent considéré comme un segment du tourisme d'aventure, le tourisme humanitaire se base sur des motivations fort différentes. Les voyageurs veulent faire quelque chose d'utile, découvrir de nouvelles cultures, s'immerger dans de nouveaux modes de vie, apprendre une nouvelle langue et même améliorer leur curriculum vitæ.
